Carolyn Quintero

[Rankin, Robert L]

I was expecting to see her in Joplin.  I knew she had been fighting cancer for some time and didn't tell people because she didn't want them fretting over her, but the last I heard, about 9 mo. ago, she was improving.  Something must have gone wrong rather quickly.  I hope her Osage dictionary has gone to press.  If it has not, then we should take steps to make sure it appears as planned.  It and the grammar will be lasting monuments to her scholarship.

Like everyone else, I'm saddened and shocked.  It must have been very sudden - Carolyn
wrote just a few weeks ago and was planning to participate in the upcoming Siouan
conference/dictionary workshop.  Maybe we can set aside a few minutes there to share
some remembrances of her?

I am very sorry to report that our dear friend and colleague Carolyn Quintero passed
away this week.  I know none of the details.  I have only seen her obituary in the Tulsa
World:

http://www.tulsaworld.com/transitions/deathnotices.aspx
Hominy - Carolyn Platter Quintero, 62, died Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif. Services
pending. Powell.

I called Powell Funeral Home in Hominy, OK, to find out when services would be held, but
they said the family has yet to make plans.  I will keep checking, though, and post more
when I can.  If you would like to call Powell, you can reach them at (918) 885-2128.

My prayers go out to her family and all those whose lives she touched.
